Sounds like a coverup. Because top physical specimens in the prime of life usually don't turn up dead without something causing it.

If the coroner cannot identify a cause, it absolutely MUST be COVID-19; that’s just ‘the law’! </sarc>

Probably steroids and whatever replaced cocaine as the party drug of choice.

Top specimens do occasionally die naturally, from a combo of some defect combined with brutal workout regimens. Defects that might hide quietly in most people.
Then add in widespread use of PED and steroids etc, (not saying -he- did that) and it really isn’t super uncommon.

I think in this case it might be worth waiting for an autopsy, and also to see if he got the shot yesterday or something.

But it may not be a coverup.

Are you providing information from another source, or did you just make this up on your own.

If he were my kid, I would not appreciate people announcing that he/she had died from drug usage.

First thing I thought of was Len Bias. It’s possible he had an undiagnosed heart condition or blood clots. Very rare, but possible.

It has happened to several high schools athletes in our area. They had heart defects never detected; some dropped dead during games. Only after an autopsy was heart disease found.

Well it sure wasn’t lidocaine.

I think Meth and Fentanyl are only popular because the war on Cocaine and Heroin made them extremely expensive and difficult to smuggle. Easier and cheaper to just make chemically synthesized drugs in a barrel in a detached garage or RV in the desert. Both are much more addictive, much more deadly, and much cheaper to make but their rise is the direct consequence of the drug war.

His brother was here in Indianapolis (drafted by the Colts) and flew to Texas this afternoon.

What is that drug combo that George Floyd took? It is the new party drug called a Fentanyl Speedball. It uses fentanyl and meth.
